Movie Reviews of The Opera Gala [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: Netrebko stole the concert!
Summary: 5 Stars

This opera gala from Baden Baden features four great singers: Anna Netrebko ? Elina Garanca ? Ram?n Vargas ? Ludovic T?zier. They sing many popular opera arias including "Mon coeur s'ouvre ? ta voix" from Samson et Dalila (Camille Saint-Sa?ns) and Flower Duet from Lakm? (Delibes), the latter of which I think is a great bonus because it is hardly seen in any live concert DVDs or blu-rays. All the singers performed very nicely. Mr. Vargas's rendition of the Donizetti's aria from "L'elisir d'amore" was excellent and impressive. Most of all, however, Netrebko was the hightlight of the show. When she performed the Lehar's aria from "Giuditta" particularly, she revealed all her passion and energy with her singing and even dancing. It was so fun, funny and entertaining moment! It showed what the best part of a live concert is. To me, this 6 minute performance alone makes this blu-ray worth getting and owning. If you have the blu-ray or DVD, The Berlin Concert Live from the Waldb?hne featuring Domingo, Villaz?n and Netrebko, you will notice that there are some overlapped songs as a reviewer mentioned. It was actually fun for me to compare them each other by different singers and rendition.

I enjoyed the concert and just hoped that more live concert blu-rays would be released.
